Kipili - Tanzania

We had a quiet day after scuba diving this morning and then we did some work on the kayak at Chris Horsfall's home. It is his birthday today and we wish him all the best.

The scuba diving was a great experience going down 15 meters. Visibility was over 5 and we saw lots of cichlids, perches and mussels. A very different experience to sea diving. You do not have to look around for sharks.

This afternoon we spent time on the kayak and we are now ready for the next phase of our trip. It starts tomorrow morning, after doing a few interviews and putting it on video.

In response to some questions on the blog:   Close to villages you find objects floating on the water, but there is no odour. We drink water directly from the lake and fill  containers for later use, before we get close to a village. No purifiers are used. We are now comfortable with the kayak, and will cut across bays and at times will be over 2 km from the shore.  

We forwarded a few pictures to South Africa which can be viewed on our web site Madventure.
